BOARD OF DIRECTORS BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT: Michel Pytlarz, Thomas Puntillo, Carlos Rosende, Anthony DeCesare, and Marge Trani. OWNERS PRESENT: Four Meeting was brought to order at 7:30 P.M. Marge read the minutes of the August 30, 2005 Workshop meeting. Omitted from the posted minutes were two approved purchases for the office. They are (1) a new updated computer, as our current one is very slow and would cost too much to update, and (2) a digital camera to replace our old broken one. The revised minutes were then approved. TREASURER’S REPORT: Carlos reported the Special Assessment account balance as of September 16, 2005 was $203,191.02. Checking account balance is $23,036.05. ELEVATOR MONITORING: The new company is in place and we should have no problems with unnecessary calls to the Fire Department as they will only be needed for an emergency. MOLD PROBLEM: The mold expert will be here tomorrow to bleach and paint a specific area and we will follow-up to determine if this solves the problem. CAT IN UNIT: The board has received a letter regarding Mr. Schroeder (Unit #1012), who is very ill and has a cat living in his unit for the past month. This situation was brought to our attention by an employee, not a request from the owner, who, knowing the no pet rule, did not even consult with the board prior to getting the cat. The owner was informed that the cat must be removed. Nothing was done. Next the aforementioned letter from Hospice was received, requesting we allow the cat to stay as it is a comfort to Mr. Schroeder. The board members personally feel extremely sorry for this gentleman; however, it is not an arbitrary regulation but a rule in the original Nassau House condominium documents that can only be amended by a 75% affirmative vote of all the unit owners. As this is an original Condominium Document rule, it is beyond the power of the board to allow pets in the building and therefore the board had no alternative but to deny the request. RENTALS: Any lease or contract for the rental of a unit being presented to the board must state “minimum of 4 months and maximum of 1 year (non-renewable)”. GLASS DOOR & WINDOW INSTALL: Inquiries have been made about permission for the glass door installed on the balcony of unit 802, and the status of the windows sitting on that balcony. It was pointed out that they were not removed during the hurricanes, as required by the rules. The board will make inquiries. PLEASE NOTE: All balconies must be completely cleared during hurricane warnings. BUILDING ROOF: An inspection of our roof was made by our roofing contractor and repairs and painting are needed. Michel and Roy will check the condition and we will follow-up. PAVERS: Delivery is expected next Tuesday. BARBEQUE: Michel is investigating city codes and ordinances to determine what is required. NEW PHONE SERVICE: The Board has approved a new contract with BellSouth, which includes long distance, DSL and other features, at approximately the same cost as we are currently paying for phone service and AOL dialup. This will enable the office to get email, obtain daily bank balances and transactions etc. and will eliminate many of the busy signals owners get when calling Doris while she is online. DAMAGES TO NORTH WALL: The contractor of the new townhouses on Riverside Drive has ignored several calls regarding damages to our north wall. If no response is forthcoming by the end of the month, we will contact our attorney, to handle the matter. CONDOMINIUM DOCUMENTS: Marge brought up the issue of making sure all amendments are recorded with the state and updating our Condominium Documents. Michel said he is currently working on that and hopes to have complete updated documents for owners by the end of the year. Meeting was adjourned at 9 P.M.
